Good value for money. The boats are filled quickly, with no breaks in between, no long waiting times. No one has to stay on the quay and be "devastated" (quote from another review). The audio guide was appropriate (GPS-oriented) and the instructions from our "captain" were useful.

Our boat trip with Captain Dimitrov, Stijn, and Willem was pure joy from start to finish! I haven’t laughed this much in years - honestly, I’m counting it as my daily ab workout. These three aren’t just great sailors, they’re top-class entertainers who definitely deserve a raise. We’ll be back for sure… partly for the views, but mostly for the jokes!

The cruise was good value for money. Probably not as great a view as a roofless boat but the weather was cold so this worked for us.

Was a nice boat ride. However the audio part of the door wasnt aligned with where we were on the canals so got confusing and had already gone past some of the places before it had told us about it
